    Videogame Voice Actors may go on strike

    Wow, I didn`t know they were treated that badly. And it is a shame too, since those voice actors are really good and have a ton of talent. Much of a game`s atmosphere comes from good voice acting, and it would be a shame for these guys to quit the gaming industry.

    What's your favorite game (musical) score?

    Oh yeah, I remember those too. Hong Kong streets is really good. I always sing along when I play the game. The original Deus Ex really had a great soundtrack, even though it is quite old by now.

    As a PC gamer, what is your opinion on controllers?

    That is a good point. As PC gamers, we can play with a controller for games that play better with one, but also, can return to the classic mouse and keyboard setup if we wish. The only thing that we cannot play yet, are console exclusives, but that might change in the future.

    What is your favorite RPG?

    Well, apart from what I have already mentioned, there are those you can read up on this thread. Dragon Age: Origins for sure, but not only the first one, but also 2 and 3. I would highly recommend Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic too you, as well. And you should play both parts, because...

    Fun games that are laptop-friendly (Integrated graphics)

    Good to know. I will pick it up for sure and check it out. I always liked the idea of the game. A rogue-like combined with Star Trekish exploration and combat. :D

    Fun games that are laptop-friendly (Integrated graphics)

    I always wanted to play FTL. I heard it is really hard, though. As for Terraria, I think the concept of the game is awesome, combining Minecraft with Side-Scroller action. There are a ton of other indie games that work great with really low system requirements. Most of what is indie on Steam and...

    As a PC gamer, what is your opinion on controllers?

    Touch screen definitely works for games made exclusively for that platform, but I don`t see how you can play games that requires you to have great reflexes on a touchscreen. However, I can imagine touchscreens to replace mouse and keyboard for strategy games, turn based games and RPGs in the future.

    Steam sale steals?

    Great info on that one. Good thing there is a site that collects all potential sales and offers on the web and display it to you. That way you don`t have to search around for potentially cheap games and sales. I will check it out for sure.

    Too old to play games?

    Totally agree with what you said. And also, it is really cool that a 60 year old plays EVE. That game is more like a job then a game, and you have to really pour in hours and hours to be successful. I can definitely see why he likes it so much, and I will probably also give EVE a shot in the...

    What's your favorite game (musical) score?

    Which Deus Ex soundtrack? I love all of them, but my favorite is the score to Human Revolution. The music from the trailer is just awesome and I listen to it all the time on YouTube. The original Deus Ex` meniu music is really really good as well.

    What's your favorite game (musical) score?

    I have a lot of favorite OSTs, since that is almost everything that I listen to, nowadays. My favorite composers are Jeremy Soule and Inon Zur, and one of my favorite video game soundtracks, is that of Skyrim and of Guild Wars 1 - 2. I really like Japanese composers as well, like Nobuo Uematsu...

    Too old to play games?

    I`m 32 and I have been playing games for as long as I can remember. It is my favorite hobby and has brought me hours upon hours of fun and joy, so, people who ask me if I might be a bit too old to play games, I flat out ignore. They have no idea what gaming is all about, thinking that it is only...

    Steam sale steals?

    Steam has some awesome sales, and I think their sales are beaten only by those over at Good Old Games. But those games might not be everyones cup of tea, since they are mostly older. I have grabbed some nice games on Steam sales, and even a few free ones, like Portal, which was free for 1 day a...

    What is your favorite RPG?

    As mostly an RPG gamer on PC, I have to say that my favorite RPGs are the old Infinity Engine games (Baldur`s Gate, Icewind Dale, Planescape: Torment) along with Dragon Age and Mass Effect, but also the Deus Ex franchise as a whole. What are your favorite PC RPG games?

    As a PC gamer, what is your opinion on controllers?

    As an old school PC Gamer, I must say, that I am not really good with a controller, and never have been. I totally prefer using a keyboard and mouse setup. But you certainly have a point, that, platformers and also beat `em up games work much better with a controller. Playing games like MK...
